Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

Here we present an overview of recent developments of X-ray and electron spectroscopy to
probe water at different temperatures. Photon-induced ionization followed by detection of …

We present a picture that combines discussions regarding the thermodynamic anomalies in
ambient and supercooled water with recent interpretations of X-ray spectroscopy and …

In the present work, we combined vibrational spectroscopy with electronic structure
calculations to understand the solvation of HMF in DMSO, water, and DMSO/water mixtures …

A new ab initio approach to the calculation of X-ray spectra is demonstrated. It combines a
high-level quantum chemical description of the chemical interactions and local atomic …

The valence-excited states of ferric and ferrous hexacyanide ions in aqueous solution were
mapped by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Fe L2, 3 and NK edges. Probing …

Based on recent experimental data that can be interpreted as indicating the presence of
specific structures in liquid water, we build and optimize two structural models which we …

Resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) and X-ray absorption (XA) experiments at the iron
L-and nitrogen K-edge are combined with high-level first-principles restricted active space …

We present a flexible and compact experimental setup that combines an in vacuum liquid jet
with an x-ray emission spectrometer to enable static and femtosecond time-resolved …

Soft X-ray spectroscopies are powerful tools for probing the local electronic and molecular
orbital structures of materials in different phases and various environments. While modern …
